Kudos to both of you.
When I make a post of an ebook and put the percentage savings, I always base it on the digital list price and not the print list price. Of course, the advertisers base it on the print list price to make the deal look better. Unless the digital price is the same or higher (I have seen that a time or two), the percentage savings over the print list price will always be higher than that over the digital list price. But comparing it with the digital list price better reflects what most people could really save, as Apache implied. To compare the sale price to the
regular digital price would be even more realistic--who ever pays full price (at least among those in
this forum) for an ebook? But sometimes information about the regular digital price is hard to ferret out, unfortunately.
